One of them little boxes that you put between your phone and socket that dials a prefix code like 132 or 138 or something like that?
I suppose it might be cheaper, there's too many companies now pretending to phone companies. Which is bad cause their customer services is usually awful, they'll stitch you every time. But in this day and age, who doesn't!
I know I'm a cynic  |

Yes it is a little box that you connect to your landline. But the thing is although i got it from the UK Post office i still dont trust the thing. I might be getting paranoid but i think it may be an easy way for someone to romotely hack the box and make phone calls on my bill.
Or have i just seen too many bad films?

Er, yeah, I think you might have watch Conspiracy Theory once too often
I've never seen the inside of one, but I guess it just routes calls via a prefix if they match certain criteria - local calls via BT and long distance via Telephones-R-us for example.
Don't dial 001 though, cos that'll get you straight through to MI5 |
